    I have this code -
    private static final double FEET_FACTOR = 0.3048;

private double calculateMetersToFeet(double height) {
	return height / FEET_FACTOR;
}
    I got the sonar error java:S3518 on height / FEET_FACTOR although FEET_FACTOR is constant and initiate with none 0 value.

Hey @Tamir_Adler,

Thanks for the report! It’s indeed an FP… and that’s amazing we encounter this one only now, years after initial implementation. Here is the ticket for it: SONARJAVA-4592

Cheers,
Michael
